Good Morning!! There are actually 10 separate egg images in this new Nestie Eggs stamp set, launching on Monday next, but I wasn't finished playing with this egg just yet! lol.

Also you simply must visit Bonnie today, simply breathtaking!! and Laurie, oh drool, take tissues! and go see Julia, and look veeeeery closely, lol, she has something up her sleeve too!!!!

It's the same egg stamp I used on the chocolate card yesterday but this time I blinged it up to look like one of those Faberge eggs, the potential for this stamp seems endless to me! lol, I'm just getting started with it! I made a few quick tags just to try a few things out!

Heat embossed the versamark stamped image with gold embossing powder and then sponged on Denim ink (Ranger) Some blue rhinestones to finish, very quick, but oh so effective!!

Loved it in gold and green too!

And some springy colours!!?, these three were clear embossed over the coloured ink and then coloured with various copics!

Also releasing Monday is a set of Vintage Labels N0.3. Designed especially for the Spellbinders labels 3 dies but perfectly good for making fancy borders and frames without using dies.

Here I've used two of the stamps and nested them to make a frame for my sentiment focal point. All of the cream card on this card was sponged with Ranger Denim ink, what a fabulous ink to smooth over paper!! and fingers...

The little fancy motif flourishes are also included in Vintage Labels N0.3.

A neat trick for lining up frame stamps. Because they are clear you can line the stamps up easily. A feature of my Nestie friendly sets is that often I will put several dotted frames all on the one stamp, as well as saving space and providing more stamp frames for your money, it is very handy to use the inner frames to line up the outer frames, below I have inked up the outer spotty frame as I want to stamp it only. I position the inner dotty frame right on top of the pre-stamped small circle frame and stamp. Easy peasy, you can try this with most of the nestie frames to get multiple frames for medallions etc!!

So, don't forget to pop over to see Bonnie, simply breathtaking!!, Laurie, oh drool! and I believe Julia, look veeeeery closely!!has something up her sleeve too!!!!

Me? I'm off to bed, I have a rotten sore throat and I want to be feeling better to share some more exciting stuff with you all over the weekend!!!!

I LOVE how you've blinged up these eggs with the embossing and gems! I'll be CASEing this for sure with projects for my church sale!! they are just SO lovely and SO Eastery!!! just beautiful! and your blue card is gorgeous with the subtle sponging effect - you are just SO inspiring!

Gorgeous - those embossed eggs look like Faberge. I'm sure I'll love this set. Oh, and I just googled Faberge to make sure I spelled it right - you MUST look at their website faberge.com ITS FABULOUS! Inspiration galore for crafters.

Simply gorgeous - just everything is gorgeous....honestly you never cease to amaze me Claire! and I'm always learning - why didn't I think of lining up the stamps like that....such a simple technique with a beautiful outcome!

I agree with Lynn - THUD! I honestly gasped when I saw the rich vibrancy of the blue on this eggie. You have really made a wonder here, Claire!I can't wait to get my mitts on these puppies - I will be playing for ages :)Yet one more reason I like the way you have designed your stamps is this: as they nestle within each other, they are infinitely more stable than those designed as frames with no centres. These are not flimsy stamps- yay!
